Dumbest thing ever. We can't have lunch, our insurance is horrible, can't use our good vendors so I'm using the cheap unsafe ones, many of us will have our pay cut, stock is being dumped soon...but the idiot next to me who does nothing but read this...

I was laid off the third round of cuts, it turned out to be a blessing. I’ve landed a job more than doubling my monthly income with Denbury. I have a lot of friends that are still with Denbury and I wish them all the best!

Too many in HR with the CPA talking about us making too much. We can't afford to lose even more pay than we already have with our stock and bonus cuts. Pioneer is the same Drive for me and they're not slashing their people or cutting their pay.

I am busting my a-- as well, but I also am getting frustrated. I talk to my peers at other O&G companies in DFW and Houston and, while everyone is dealing with the new reality of $50 oil, there doesn't seem to be the demoralizing environment that we...

Just watched 2 well paid good older workers get walked out today. Their jobs were eliminated. We just hired someone last month (young and cheap). Twice now. No more big layoffs, just small ones you never see coming. HR made sure management couldn't...

But oil is at $50.. there are no jobs out there! Surely, no company is profitable in this environment; you should be thankful to have a job.... blah blah blah.. At least that is what they have been feeding us. This is what happens when you keep...

If you were impacted by the last RIF, please comment and advise whether or not TWC has approved your unemployment benefits. Myself and several others have been denied until our severance weeks end while others are receiving payment. This is...

After the promotion announcement and more I really doubt the cost savings lines. We laid off only to promote and I'm sure give raises to new VIce Pres? I'm sure the majority of us will go on to year 3 with no raise and less bonus and benefits. I was...

If you don't like it, get out. If you don't like the new leadership, get out. If you don't like the measures being taken to survive, get out. If you're one of these people, you are a huge part of the reason Denbury is in this mess. So blame yourself...

I read an artical years ago, I think it was written for the WSJ, as Gareth left. It read Denbury would not survive, and the only way Denbury would make it, is if Gareth came back to run Denbury . TPG was a major player in the Gareth era . So maybe...

I'm on the hunt and hoping to find something before things get any worse. It is really, really sad though. Denbury used to be a great place to work, far better than anywhere I was before. Now they are slowly chipping away at our income and benefits...

There will be so few employees after the next layoff in 2018 that the remaining staff will have to work 7 days a week just to keep up, That is unless DRI can start selling off fields such as Conroe and most of the So. Houston fields, Thompson...

It's sad when shareholders rejoice at news of layoffs. So many overpaid managers who still receive bonuses in Denbury, but hey, that's not the issue, it's the regular employees who are the true leaches! Damn it, this makes me angry...

This was the worst run layoff ever. Nobody in HR knew what was going on and when I would finally get someone to give me an answer, it was wrong (2 times). I don't agree with who I was told had to be laid off. It wasn't the people I said. They weren't...

As part of the severance package, there should be several months of COBRA coverage available. But when that runs out, if you don't have a job with benefits (or a spouse with one), here are a couple of options that I'm aware of...

One geologist already has a job offer. There are jobs out there, so be sure to apply to as many as you can, and network. And don't forget that you can immediately apply for unemployment, even with a severance package.

Why lay off so many dedicated, lower paying positions and keep most of the over paid management? They still haven't figured it out. New leadership failed just like the previous. We could have saved twice as much with a smaller headcount.

The last 7 days and really the last 3 years since my divorce have been rough. I appreciate the severance package and am excited to get back to enjoying life. I wish everyone who got let go today and those who didn't the best of luck!
